Hi Joe,
I apologise if I have over-reacted - (not uncommon nowadays).
At the time of the Ryan report being issued, an organisation was set up here in Ireland (L.O.V.E.?) the aim of which was transparently to debunk or at least, to call into question the findings of the tribunals. It attempted to place a question mark over all the cases coming to light, giving the overall impression that it was a plot against the church. I can no longer find a reference to it so I assume it died the death it deserved.
I'm sure you are right that there will be the occasional ghoul who will attempt to profit from the affair; we can only hope that those dealing with the cases can sort them out.
But this should not stand in the way of uncovering the very many cases that have not yet come to light - not in order to extract 'revenge', but to recognise that a great wrong has been done to a great number of people (children) who have had both their bodies and their faith violated.
In this way, perhaps we can make sure that it doesn't happen again.
Best,
Jim Carroll
